Bucheon steakhouse with bottomless rice, corn and salsa: Macho Steak

Why we went to Macho Steak Bucheon

I was craving steak for the first time in ages, so my husband and I headed to Macho Steak Bucheon (마초스테이크 부천점), a cast-iron steakhouse in Wonmi-gu, Bucheon. When I was pregnant I wanted steak so badly that I ate at a steakhouse about once a week. I ended up gaining 27kg.. and it wasn't even gestational diabetes, ugh; I gave birth having gained all that weight all by myself. Anyway..

Parking and going with a baby at Macho Steak Bucheon

Macho Steak Bucheon has no parking of its own, so you park at a nearby public car park and walk. It's less than a 5-minute walk from the car park, so access was fine. Since having a kid we pretty much get around only by car, haha.

There are baby chairs inside, so it's fine to bring a little one, and it looked like plenty of meat-loving guys also come here to eat alone!

Inside Macho Steak Bucheon and what we ordered

At Macho Steak Bucheon we ordered the Macho Double Beef Steak SET. The restaurant uses Choo Sung-hoon as its model and also sells a huge-portion steak. To keep oil from splattering, aprons are provided in the shop, like this. Each table also has a guide to enjoying your steak the best way.

The basil ade came first

The first thing out was the basil ade. It had a lovely basil scent and was just right for refreshing your mouth between bites of steak, so I slurped it right up. I lost my sense of smell to a concussion back in 2021 or so, but maybe it's coming back, because lately I can smell things.

Cast-iron hamburger steak and ribeye: what's unlimited?

At Macho Steak Bucheon, corn, rice and vinagrete (a Brazilian-style salsa) are all unlimited refills, haha. Unlimited refills, what a beautiful phrase. It would be amazing if the meat were unlimited too, but then the restaurant would make nothing, I guess.

First, the hamburger steak.. sizzling away on the hot iron plate, it's honestly a work of art.. that smell ㅠㅠ I went totally crazy. A strip of guard is also set up in front to stop the oil splattering.. this is seriously so good ㅠㅠ

And this is the ribeye I was eating today, haha. After the college entrance exam I worked at VIPS and grilled a ton of these, so I thought, long time no see, and flipped it on the iron plate to sizzle. At Macho Steak Bucheon you flip the ribeye and then cut it into grill-shaped pieces to eat. And of course this one also comes with unlimited rice, corn and vinagrete.

Doesn't it look so delicious just from looking at it.. I was so happy ㅠㅠㅠ The thought suddenly hit me that I wanted to eat a full 500g of just steak. Phew, I'll have to go again soon.

Ribeye with sauce and vinagrete, hamburger steak mixed with rice

At Macho Steak Bucheon I dipped my ribeye into the sauce and ate away, while my husband mixed up his hamburger steak with rice and dug in. The sauce was so good that the food vanished in no time. Super delicious.

Eating it with the Brazilian-style vinagrete cuts all the richness and is absolutely amazing.. It has tomato in it, so I ate the tomato first. Pineapple goes beautifully with meat too, of course. So so good ㅠㅠ I'm tearing up. Also, ribeye has a nice amount of fat, so if you melt the fat well on the iron plate, it tastes even better.

Three rice refills: the couple's binge

At Macho Steak Bucheon I refilled my rice about three times, and my husband and I totally binged. I even thought we should have just ordered the Choo Sung-hoon steak or whatever it's called, haha. It was so tasty I was in a great mood. Look closely and you can see the rice bowls stacked up, haha.

Macho Steak Bucheon, a Bucheon Western-food spot where I finally got a properly meaty meal after so long. If you like meat, definitely go. Big thumbs up!
